SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Dream Braga has been shooting fish with a bow and arrow for most of his life. In the Amazonian village where he grew up, that was what kids did for food and fun.

Now Braga is one of seven indigenous youths chosen for their archery skills by a programme that aims to get them competing in international archery competitions for Brazil.
